Granted, texting while driving is dumb and dangerous. I've done it in the past and granted I'm taking a big chance. But why is it that I don't think the cell phone ban (while driving) will make any difference? Whether you are talking on a handsfree or talking with the phone in your left (or right) hand, it's equally dangerous. If you're going to ban cell phone use while driving, then ban ALL cell phone use. It's not the cell phone that causes accidents, it's bad driving that causes accidents. Why don't they ban all stereos from cars or make it compulsory to have voice-activated controls? Why don't they ban babies from front seats because they are often a big distraction? And gee, all these SUV's with DVD players installed, um, why are they there?
Bad driving is bad driving, laws like this will do nothing for safety. The bad drivers will always be there.
